Heat Wave Triggers Power Cuts Across New York
Utility companies in New York cut voltage for a second straight day amid record heat. Consolidated Edison reduced NYC voltage by 5 percent at 12 57 pm and the statewide pool followed with similar cuts. Officials warn of ongoing strain, with relief possible as a cold front brings showers and cooler temperatures Wednesday. Fire officials urge restraint on hydrants to preserve water pressure and prevent dangerous fires.
